The colouring of this and of the other Evangelist portraits in the manuscript is soft and harmonious, the forms are delicately modelled, the silhouettes are somewhat elongated, and every detail of the composition is sharply delineated. The shading, although definitely aimed at rendering volume, fails to produce a three-dimensional effect; the picture is reminiscent of a low relief.�
